Bartley Green School

Bartley Green School is a mixed 11-16 converted academy with about 900 pupils on roll, some six miles south west of Birmingham City Centre. Bartley Green School works closely with other secondary schools in the Birmingham area and the Oaks Collegiate to broaden the opportunity to both support teachers in other schools if they so wish, adding to their own development and professional satisfaction, or to work collaboratively with peers to develop new curriculum content.

Professional Development

We are particularly proud of our support for all staff in their professional development and invest heavily in CPD across the school.

Ethos and Culture

One of the first things visitors usually comment on when they tour our school is the climate for learning, the ethos and culture amongst the pupils and the positive relationships with each other and staff.  
A lot goes on in and out of school.  On any given day, there may well be educational visits, workshops, enrichment activities, study skills lessons, intervention and mentoring sessions, adults from agencies or the community working with the pupils and of course, enjoyable lessons which are clearly well planned and taught

Leadership

The Governing Body is extremely effective, recognizing and valuing high quality staff and that Leadership at all levels in the school is very supportive. They understand that everyday classroom practice and the good relationships in the school are at the heart of its continued success and as Ofsted in March 2023 noted ‘Warm and respectful relationships characterise life at this school. Pupils are happy and safe. Pupils value the support staff give them’.
